F.A.Q.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
Q01. Can I play Whisky, Tequila, Canteen out of my turn if I am losing my last life point?
A. No. Even if these cards show the “regain one life point” symbol, only Beer cards, as a rule, can be
played out of your turn.
Q02. Can I use the Barrel when I am the target of Punch, Knife, Springfield, Buffalo Rifle,
Howitzer, Pepperbox, Derringer?
A. Yes. As a rule of thumb, the Barrel works against all cards showing a BANG! symbol.
Q03. If Vera Custer has currently the same ability of Vulture Sam and another player is
eliminated, who takes his cards?
A. The cards of the eliminated player must be divided between Vera Custer and Vulture Sam. Who
among Vera and Sam is next to the killed character, in clockwise order, chooses the first card (either
randomly from the hand of the killed character, or among her “in play” cards). Then, the other one
takes another card, and so on, until all cards of the eliminated player have been distributed between
the two.
Q04. When Slab the Killer plays Punch, Knife, Springfield, Buffalo Rifle, Howitzer, Pepperbox,
Derringer, how many Missed! are required to avoid losing one life point?
A. You will need just one Missed! only. Slab the Killer’s ability applies to BANG! cards only.
Q05. Can I have simultaneously in play Mustang and Hideout, or Scope (AKA Appaloosa) and
Binocular (AKA Silver), or any given combination of these cards?
A. Yes. They all have different name, so there is no limitation.
Q06. What happens when there are two Dynamite in play and only two players still alive?
A. The Dynamite must pass to the first player (in clockwise order) without a Dynamite already in
play. So, if the Dynamite does not explode, it stays in front of the same player, because the other
one has already another in play.
Q07. Can I have two Iron Plate simultaneously in play?
A. No: generally speaking, you can never have in front of you two cards which share the same
name.
Q08. Can I play Tequila, Whisky, Canteen if there are only two players still alive?
A. Yes, they are not Beer cards. However, you still cannot use them out of your turn to save your
life.
Q09. If Tequila Joe is killed and he has a Beer in hand, how many life points he gains?
A. If Tequila Joe suffers one life point only, it goes to 2 life points. However, if he is being eliminated
by means of a Dynamite, you have to sum up all lost life points and gained life points to see if (and
how) he survives. For example, if he was at 1 life point and the Dynamite explodes, Tequila Joe
would go to -2 life points, so he will need two Beer cards to save his life (in this case, he will go to
-2 + 4 = 2 life points).
Q10. Does the ability of Apache Kid prevent other players to play Missed! cards of Diamond
against his BANGs?
A. No. Apache Kid’s ability applies to cards played by other players only, thus during other players’
turns. Therefore, he is unaffected by about half of the BANG! Cards, by all Indians!, by Conestoga
and by some Cat Balou and Panic! played against him. Other cards (General Store, Hideout, weapons
etc.) always works normally.
Q11. How Conestoga and Rag Time work?
A. Just read the symbols. They both allow you to draw a card (from the hand of among “in play”
cards) from any one player, regardless of the distance.
Q12. How far can shoot Doc Holyday when he uses his ability?
A. Any reachable distance.
HIGH NOON
Q13. How many cards Bill Noface draws when he has 2 life points and Thirst or Train Arrival
are in play?
A. If Bill Noface is the Sheriff, he has been shot 3 times, so he should draw 1+3=4 cards. Thus if the
Thirst is in play, he draws 3 cards, while with the Train Arrival he draws 5 cards. If Bill Noface is not
the Sheriff, he draws 2 cards with the Thirst and 4 cards with the Train Arrival.
Q14. How many cards Bill Noface and Pixie Pete draw when they enter in play as ghosts
thanks to the Ghost Town?
A. Bill Noface enters in play with 5 cards, Pixie Pete with 3 cards.
Q15. How the ability of Greg Digger and Herb Hunter must be applied when a ghost leaves
play due to the Ghost Town?
A. Each time a ghost leaves play, Greg Digger regains 2 life points while Herb Hunter draws 2 cards
from the deck.
Q16. Can Chuck Wengam use his ability while he is a ghost with the Ghost Town?
A. Generally, no, since ghost enter in play with no life points. However, if Chuck Wengam regains one
or more life points somehow (e.g. by use of Beer or Whisky) he can actually use his ability.
